BRD230250 - Quadplex 30/50 Circuit Breaker

BRD230250 - Quadplex 30/50 Circuit Breaker

The Eaton BRD230250 is a Type BR quad thermal magnetic circuit breaker designed for you to use in compatible Eaton BR loadcenters. It combines two 30 Amp circuits and two 50 Amp circuits into a single breaker assembly, allowing additional circuits to be installed while using fewer panel spaces than standard full-size breakers. This configuration is commonly used when panel space is limited but additional branch circuits are required.

Like other Eaton BR breakers, the BRD230250 provides protection against overloads and short circuits through a thermal magnetic trip mechanism. Its 120/240V rating and 10 kAIC interrupting capacity make it suitable for a variety of residential and light commercial electrical applications. The quad design allows multiple circuits to be protected within a compact footprint while maintaining compatibility with existing Eaton Type BR equipment.

Whether you're adding new circuits for appliances, workshop equipment, HVAC components, or general branch-circuit loads, the BRD230250 provides a straightforward way to expand circuit capacity without changing the existing loadcenter.
